pion Faints From Pain.
| New YORK. January 2Sth-Sullivan, the
pugilist, arrived this afternoon to get the
best surgical opinion as to bis broken arm.
| He and his friends went to the Office of DR..
| Sayre, who, after an examination of the
| injured member, said that it mad been set
with the palm downward, instead of the
reverse, and while the fighter conversed
| with his friends, the doctor, by a furtiVe
glance, observed Sullivan's preoccupation,
| and, placing his left hand on Sullivan's
! forearm and his right upon the wrist, he
gave the arm sudden wrench, which broke
| the bones asunder the second time. Sulli-
van bounded from his reclining position
with sharp cry of pain, and sank
back upon the cushions in dead fainting
spell. Salts and other vivifying applica
| tionS soon brought him back to conscious
ness, and he found his left hand lying palm
upwards, as DR.. Sayre says it should. Bat
| the fighter was knocked out, and became
further wearied by fruitess retchings. He
was Strengthened out after while, how
| ever, and his arm was bound in felt wad-
ding, and finally set in plaster of Paris. DR..
Sayre says it will be all right four weeks

dermic instrument and they were both |
suffering from the effects of the drug The |
doctor was then taken before the Insane |

returned to his practice, but soon fell back |
into his old habit. Since then he was fallen |
lower. His family is perfectly destitute, |
and he himself has walked the streets try
ing to raise money to buy some of the drug
with. He finally became so wild that be |
was arrested and tried for insanity. His |
